I enjoyed that report although I am not really sure why he stayed in Parramatta?

And he is right about every man and his dog jumping on the "I'm an aboriginal!" gravy train (is there an aboriginal spokesperson on the east coast that isn't 75%+ non aboriginal??).

Always interesting to get another perspective on the situation in Australia. Obviously the problems here pale into insignificance compared to those in America (large negro population, invading swarm of Mexican mestizos) but non stop third world immigration is a problem that has to be countered in all white nations.

It's a good little travelogue but he's misinterpreted the Aboriginal motif, Anglo Saxon people always ennoble and aggrandise the people they conquer, the Scot, the Apache, the Zulu the Arab etc, it's not guilt on display it's something else. The displays of Aboriginal art and artifacts are more about a display of Anglo good intentions and high moral character "Look we keep all their sacred stuff right next to our sacred stuff!".
I've probably told the anecdote many times about how once when I was removing a mantlepiece in an old house I'd found an old photo, from the 1940's or 50's of what looked to be a children's hospital ward, all the little White kids were dressed up in black face with Aboriginal ceremonial face paint, toy spears and boomerangs etc. I don't think very many White people are ashamed of what has happened to the Aboriginals, it starts to get messy when you question how much free will they actually have and whether there are racial limitations on their ability to progress. The Whites who do profess shame are just ignorant for the most part or they are pushing an agenda, there's mostly a funny kind of pride at play among our people but it's more pride in the act of remembrance than in the actual Aboriginal people themselves.

I think he is. A blue eyed blonde haired 16 year old I used to work with claims she's 1/6 Aboriginal or something like that. A brown haired green eyed 18 year old white (in appearance) boy I go to school says he's 1/4 Aboriginal.

Simply the cataloguing of cultures I would think. For tourism, scientific interests, etc. Why not keep some of it if it's interesting to inspect?

I think it's bad that the stolen generation happened. I don't necessarily think that the people who lead the fiasco thought they were doing anything wrong to aboriginals, quite the contrary I assume, so there is no moral problem. Good intentions, bad execution to be honest.

We should have realised that these people aren't like us and aren't able to assimilate properly into our (modern) environment. Aboriginals have been roaming the land in a nomadic, primitive way for a very long time and they haven't evolved past that point. They should still be out there in their hunter gather lifestyle. I don't really think that's any less of an existence or that it makes them less important, in the same way I don't think a cow that grazes in a meadow has a lesser existence than I - just a different one tailored to an entirely different type of being. The problem is when they all mix, clearly. I wouldn't teach a cow how to drive a car and I wouldn't try and live off grass.

One thing he does have wrong very wrong is that rural Australia has escaped the grip of the multi-culti noose. On his next visit to Australia if he is allowed I would suggest he do a road trip from Sydney to Perth and he will find that the multi-culti cancer has infested all of the country.

We rented a holiday house just outside Launceston last year, on the first morning I woke up and could hear voices coming from the house down the hill, "Ah", I thought to myself "they're speaking Dinka". The Tasmanian morning sounds of Magpies, wind in the trees, cars in the distance and Sudanese immigrants hanging out their washing.

All 'aboriginal' people I've met in Australia looked 100% white. They were blondes, brunettes or redheads with extremely pale skin and long, thin European noses and European skulls. They couldn't have been anything more than 10% indigenous. I think I've seen some darker ones but can't really tell in our multiracial utopia.

That's a worry, I can normally tell straight away, their voice always gives it away and if someone has Aboriginal ancestry they don't usually hide it.
It's the 60 second test, if in the first 60 seconds of meeting someone you have questions about their racial background then they're probably not White and Aboriginals can tell who's White and who's Koori straight away, it's only people who choose to ignore race for ideological reasons who are "colourblind".
This is how normal people with no hangups relate to one another in a multi racial society, it's not impolite to ask "Are you Turkish?", "Are you Chinese?", "Are you Aboriginal?", "Are you White?", asking usually makes things easier, when people ignore race then bad things always happen.
I remember once when I was working at the exhibition centre I sat and had lunch with some sparkies and one of them had this weird name, I asked him about it and he said it means "Sea Eagle" in his mother's language, so then I asked him where his mum was from and he told me she was from some outpost, (might have been Fitzroy river) and named the tribe, then one of the other guys chimed in and started on about fishing up in the territory, nobody freaked out, nobody got "uncomfortable". I tell this story because another woman I know had to write a diversity policy for her workplace, the bosses wanted a clause which forbade people from asking about each other's ethnic background in case they "offended" minorities.

Obviously you've never met a true blood since you'd be able to smell them from a mile away. As for the half and lesser castes that say they are black the true bloods hate them which is why there was the so-called stolen generation since the elders wanted to smash their heads in as babies with a rock.
